I love Angela Merkel. Germany is accepting about one million refugees from the Middle East. “Wir schaffen das,” Merkel’s slogan, translates “We can do this.” Contrast this with the poop in the pants reaction of Gov. Christie or the panic of Donald Trump to accepting refugees.
The Catholic Church is proposing sainthood for Mother Teresa. This is a mistake. Mother Teresa, with her opposition to birth control, has set India back for decades. Sainthood should go to Merkel, who has accepted political opprobrium by doing the right thing and helping hundreds of thousands of refugees. She really is a saint.
Answers to last night’s quiz:
#1--Kasich actually proposed setting up a government agency to “promote Judeo-Christian values.” Those of you who thought Kasich was a reasonable Republican candidate may want to re-evaluate.
#2--Cruz’s Harvard roommate said he would prefer someone picked from the phonebook to be President rather that Cruz.
#3--when asked what he thought of Cruz, John Boehner raised his middle finger.
#4--Trump picked a man with known ties to a Mafia-linked stock fraud scheme to be his business advisor. God help us if he is elected president.
#5. If you know your Bible, you know it was Jesus who said he came to bring “not peace, but the sword.” It is in the book of Matthew.
